Myanmar Digital Visa Guide for Irish Nationals
Irish citizens looking to explore the landscapes of Myanmar can take advantage of the electronic visa system. This streamlined process removes the need for physical paperwork. It is a modern way to secure your travel authorisation quickly and efficiently.
Is a Visa Required for Irish Travellers?
Yes. Citizens of Ireland must obtain a valid visa before they board their flight to Myanmar. The eVisa is the most common method for tourists and business visitors to gain entry. Ensure your passport is valid for at least half a year from your entry date.
Available Categories
The tourist eVisa is perfect for sightseeing. If your visit involves commercial work, the business eVisa is necessary. You can find more specific details on the requirements page to see which fits your trip.
Application Readiness Tips
To help your application proceed without delays, follow these steps:
- Double-check all spellings against your passport bio-data.
- Use a professional-style photo with no glasses or hats.
- Apply at least two weeks before your planned departure.
- Keep a physical and digital copy of your approval letter.
Validity and Entry Rules
Your visa is valid for a single entry. Once you pass through the border control, you are permitted to stay for a set number of days. If you leave the country, you cannot reuse the same visa. The approval letter itself has an expiry date, so check it carefully.
Visa Fees for Ireland

The Process Explained
The application is a simple online form. You will need to provide your travel dates, passport details, and a contact address in Myanmar. After paying the fee, the government authorities review your submission. Once approved, the document is sent to your email.
Stay Duration Guide
| Visa Type | Standard Stay | Extension Possible |
|---|---|---|
| Tourist | 28 Days | Generally No |
| Business | 70 Days | Yes (with sponsorship) |
| Transit | 24 Hours | No |
Checking Your Status
After submission, you can track your request. By entering your passport number and the reference code received during application, you can see if the status is "In Process" or "Approved." This provides peace of mind while you wait.
Why Applications Get Denied
Errors in the passport number or date of birth are the most common reasons for rejection. Ensure your photo is clear and meets the size requirements. Using an invalid passport that is too close to its expiry date will also cause a rejection.
Managing an Expired Visa
If you find yourself in Myanmar with an expiring visa, you must take action. Overstaying can lead to significant fines and potential difficulties for future travel. If an extension is not possible, you are required to leave the country before the expiry date.
